Calling CSS from HTML

[cyberout]

Is there any possible way, be it Javascript or some other way, to grab the URL of a CSS from a web page and have the page calling up that URL use it as its CSS style?

Hi cyberout and welcome to WebmasterWorld!

Without using specific URLs (see the ToS [webmasterworld.com]) can you please provide an example of what you mean.

For example:
1) [example1.com...] calls [example2.com...] which uses [example2.com...]
2) I want [example1.com...] to be displayed using style sheet [example2.com...]

Say index.html on some other sites page has the tag:
<link href="style01.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">

I want to be able to grab the href from that page and add it to my own page but for example as:

<link href="http://www.somesite.org/css/style01.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">

Such applications could be used in frames, especially if done in JavaScript, would make pointing to CSS easier, perhaps?

There may be some snazzy way of doing it but I'm not familiar with it.

I'm assuming you know the real name of "http://www.somesite.org" therefore you don't need to discover that?

In that case my language of choice would be php (yours could be anything else you're comfortable with) and I would:
1) physically copy the file "index.html" (if I knew it was called that); and
2) text string search through it looking for the directory of the css (if necessary - in your example it seems like you'd need to); and
3) text string search through it looking for the css file name; and
4) build the html to use it.

Perhaps a "bleeding obvious" response (sorry about that) but it may help.

I'm intrigued as to why you want to do this!?
